Firstly I apologise for asking something that may seem obvious to you but I'm feeling a bit confused at the moment..
I have a few different walks for Horace and I, close to home so streets, roads etc (always onlead)
Park (on and offlead depending on situation)
public footpaths through fields (mainly offlead as we seldom if ever come across another soul)
Crossing/passing by farms etc he is always put back on lead.
I don't allow Horace or give him the opportunity to approach other dogs, people etc unless we have been given permission.
We have a group dog session a few times a week in the park where 8 dogs play offlead together with no problems.
I was chatting to my father yesterday and when he heard that I let Horace offlead on those occasions he made it clear that it was illegal to do so... now I'm very confused as I thought the only issues were near roads, livestock, or if your dog is aggressive etc.
I have tried researching the subject but getting different opinions on it...
Would you be so kind as to explain in as simple a manner as possible the Law regarding dogs offlead. Any links to websites would be most helpful!
Many thanks
